    No full text
    We prove that Huygens' principle and the principle of equipartition of energy hold for the modified wave equation on odd dimensional Damek-Ricci spaces. We also prove a Paley-Wiener type theorem for the inverse of the Helgason Fourier transform on Damek-Ricci spaces

    The Gelfand transform of homogeneous distributions of Heisenberg type groups

    No full text
    A distribution on a Heisenberg type group of homogeneous dimension Q is a biradial kernel of type a if it coincides with a biradial function, homogeneous of degree a −Q, and smooth away from the identity. We prove that a distribution is a biradial kernel of type a, 0 ≤a<Q, if and only if its Gelfand transform, defined on the Heisenberg fan, extends to a smooth even function on the upper half plane, homogeneous of degree −a/2. A similar result holds for radial kernels on the Heisenberg group

    Sobolev spaces and the Cayley transform

    No full text
    The generalised Cayley transform C from an Iwasawa N-group into the corresponding real unit sphere S induces isomorphisms between suitable Sobolev spaces H^\alpha(S) and H^\alpha(N). We study the differential of C and we obtain a criterion for a function to be in H^\alpha(S)

    Some properties of horocycles on Damek-Ricci spaces

    No full text
    We prove that a Damek–Ricci space is symmetric if and only if the geodesic inversion preserves the set of horocycles
